The President commented on the decision of the head of the Odessa regional state administration resignation.
In the democratic Ukraine, the Chairman of the Odessa regional state administration Mikheil Saakashvili may go to the opposition.
This was stated by President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.
“We are a democratic state, and if he decided to start a political campaign on the opposition… I hope tomorrow the government will support his decision to resign as head of the regional state administration, if it decided to engage in political activity,” he said.
Poroshenko noted that at the time, the Georgian leaders were invited to Ukraine to implement reforms.
“Some of them successfully continue to work in the government, for example, the head of national police Khatia Dekanoidze, NABU – Uglava (first Deputy Director of the National anticorruption Bureau of Ukraine Gizo Uglava – approx. ed.) and many others. Some people decided to change the scope of activities and to start the political activity in Ukraine after the defeat in Georgian elections,” the President added.
Recall, November 7, Saakashvili announced his resignation.
